Sudden Spike in 404 Pages Not Found in Moz Crawl But No Errors in WMT
-
Recently I received a spike in errors from the Moz crawler. When I looked into the matter I noticed that all the URI's looked right but then I looked a little closer and there was a /page/2 and /page/3 in front of the URI's. I'm running a WordPress website. Immediately I thought to myself this must be some kind of caching or permalinks error. So I disabled all my plugins including W3 Total Cache and ran the Integrity Link Crawler for the Mac and found that the errors were still popping up.

Hi there Kevin,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
Would you be able to pop a message over to help@moz.com along with the specific campaign name/website URL? We'd love to take a closer look into this for you but it will be much easier if we can take a look at your account directly:).
Thanks so much!

Hi Kevin,
I ran a crawl of this site using ScreamingFrog's spider tool and found more than a few 404 errors, so something is amiss (or was when I looked at this, yesterday.) Try the free version of the tool yourself and see how it looks: https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/ It's a useful tool as it gives you real-time results.
Good luck!

Hurf - Thanks for looking into this - Yes I'm running Integrity for mac which is a link scanner - That's where I got the broken link image that I attached to the this ticket.
